2025 Faculty of Health Fun Run

The Faculty of Health is thrilled to announce that the annual Faculty of Health Fun Run is officially back!

One of the longest-standing traditions at the University of Waterloo, the Fun Run will be held on the morning of University of Waterloo Homecoming this Fall.

About the event

Fun Run participants will have the option of completing a 2.5 km or 5 km run, jog or walk. This event is open to faculty, staff, alumni, students, families with strollers and community members of all ages. This is a fully accessible event. Participants are encouraged to join in on the fun and wear costumes for a chance to win prizes! See Fun Run archives for photos from past events. Music, games and the official warm-up will also add to the fun.

The event will include bib tag technology and results will be posted online as part of an official race in the running community.

Supporting the Faculty of Health

We are particularly excited to bring back (last held in 2019) this fun, engaging event as we launch our new Healthy Waterloo Initiative. Funds raised will support projects like Healthy Waterloo and/or Centre for Community, Clinical and Applied Research Excellence (CCCARE) programs.
